California bill would ban 'boys' and 'girls' departments in stores
 [NYPOST] Big stores in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, would have to get rid of separate "boys" and "girls" departments for toys and clothes under a new bill.The proposal would require stores with 500 or more employees to maintain "undivided areas of its sales floor" for childcare items, kids clothes and toys, "regardless of whether an item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys," according to the legislation. The bill, which refers to "unjustified differences in similar products that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys," would also ban signs indicating specific items are for girls or boys. Online, any California-based businesses selling childcare items, children’s clothing or toys, would have to "dedicate a section of the internet website to the sale of those items and articles that is titled, at the discretion of the retailer, ’kids,’ ’unisex,’ or ’gender neutral.’", the bill states.
